It is likely that two versions of this bill will receive a vote. The first version will include provisions that would actually make the crisis at our southern border worse. It would codify a crisis level allowance of illegal immigrants into the country, and attract more migrants by expanding work permits, parole authority, and free services for illegal immigrants.
The second version would attempt to pass foreign aid without the border provisions but would still fail to provide adequate oversight of the aid being sent. With reports regularly surfacing about the loss of weaponry or misuse of funds, the need for a public accounting of the aid sent becomes more and more dire. Yet this bill refuses to do so.
It also includes aid to Israel, but the conflict in the Middle East is vastly different from the conflict in Eastern Europe. The aid should receive individual attention and should not be tied to any other issues.
All of this spending would see over $100 billion added to the national deficit without a clear benefit to the American people. Further—with or without the bad “border security” provisions—it fails on every level to prioritize U.S. national security.
